SPACING—The below minimum spacing
recommendations are based on a combination of the
ASTM (U.S.) voluntary standards and EN (European)
regulations as of October 1, 2012, for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount:
– Treadmills—a minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on each
side of the treadmill and 2 m (78 in.) behind the
machine.
– Cardio equipment other than treadmills—a
minimum of 0.5 m (19.7 in.) on at least one side, and
0.5 m (19.7 in.) behind or in front the machine.
Careful consideration should be given to the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), US Code 28 CFR (see Section 305). ASTM
standards are voluntary and may not reflect current
industry standards. The actual area for access, passage
around, and emergency dismount is the responsibility of
the facility. The facility should consider the total space
requirements for training on each unit, voluntary and
industry standards, and any local, state, and federal
regulations. Standards and regulations are subject to
change at any time.
Important: These spacing recommendations should be used

Getting Started
The P80 console offers administrators and users the ability to
set default settings that meet their specific needs. To
accomplish this, the console supports settings for different
classes of users depending on their administrative rights.
A guest user exercises on a piece of equipment without
signing in or creating a Preva account.
A registered user has created a Preva account and uses a
sign-in password or Preva Token to use that account.
A registered service technician uses a sign-in password
with extra permissions to administer console settings.
An administrator is always registered, uses a sign-in
password and has full access to the console settings.
Changes to the Personal Information and Preference settings
are saved to a registered user’s Preva account. An
unregistered user can change preference settings; however,
because they lack a personal account, those changes are not
saved, and apply only to their current workout.

Treadmill Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop)
Function
Important: The default setting for this feature is ON. An
administrator can turn off this feature in the System Settings;
however, Precor recommends it remain ON.
The Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) feature is designed to
bring the treadmill to a gradual stop when it is not in use. This
might occur if a user steps off the treadmill before the end of
a workout and leaves the treadmill running.
Sixty seconds after a treadmill workout starts or resumes, the
equipment begins Auto Stop monitoring. If a user is detected,
then no message appears, and the selected workout
continues.
If no user is detected after an additional 30 seconds, the
console displays the message NO USER DETECTED, STOPPING IN 10 SECONDS as notification of the pending
stop. During the display of this message, a ten second
countdown begins. If a user does not override the countdown,
the belt comes to a gradual stop after the countdown is
complete.
Note: Users weighing more than 90 pounds (41 kg) are
detected within the speed and position limits of the feature.
Users weighing 50 pounds (22.7 kg) to 89 pounds (40.5 kg)
may not be detected depending on their speed and location.
Always be aware of and follow the console’s instructions for
proper operation.

Workout Limits
The Workout Limit settings give you control over how the
equipment is used. Use these settings to create reasonable
limitations for equipment usage including speed, incline,
resistance, and duration.
In general, fitness equipment use is based on its popularity
with users and its availability during a site’s busiest times of
day. Settings to enforce time limits will help locations restrict
user usage during the busiest hours to provide more access to
equipment for more users.
Workout Limit settings are not associated with or saved as
part of a personal account and users do not have access to
them. Both administrators and service technicians have view
and modify access rights.

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature
Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on your
physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may
experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or
oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing
hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition,
make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact
can be maintained.
To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your
hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the
equipment’s handlebars. To ensure an accurate heart rate
readout, make sure you follow these tips:
Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to
register.
It takes a number of consecutive heartbeats (15-20
seconds) for your heart rate to register.
When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a
loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect
the reading.
As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your
heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld
grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again
later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate
signal.
If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you,
Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter
strap.
Page 46
44 Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console
Figure 10: Heart rate target zones
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is equal to
220 minus your age.
Page 47
Introducing Users to the P80 Console 45
WARNING
Using a Chest Strap Transmitter
Signals used by the chest strap transmitter (or
heart rate strap) may interfere with
pacemakers or other implanted devices.
Consult your physician and the manufacturers
of your chest strap transmitter and implanted
device before using a chest strap transmitter.
Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout
provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment to
detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate
sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising. In
the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch data
takes precedence and will display.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in
direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below
the bust line for women).
To use a chest strap transmitter:
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.
Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the
proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The
strap should feel snug, not restrictive.
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies
horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of your
chest.
4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart rate
function on the equipment. If a heart rate is registering,
your chest strap placement is correct. If the equipment
does not register a heart rate, readjust the strap and
recheck the heart rate function.

Cleaning the Console and Display
The console and screen require little maintenance once
installed. Precor recommends that you clean the console and
screen before and after each exercise session.
To remove dust and dirt from the console:
Wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that you have
moistened with a solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of
Simple Green® (for more information, visit
www.simplegreen.com).
Page 74
72 Operating and Maintaining the P80 Console
To clean the screen:
The manufacturer recommends diluting one part 91%
isopropyl alcohol solution in one part water, or using the
91% isopropyl alcohol solution in its original strength. Be
sure to follow the solvent manufacturer’s precautions and
directions when using any solvent.
CAUTION: Potentially hazardous situations associated with the
use of isopropyl alcohol may result in minor or moderate injury
and property damage. To avoid these situations, follow all
instructions and recommendations in the manufacturer’s Material
Safety Data Sheet and product label.
Important: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids directly on the
console or console’s screen.
It is important to avoid using any corrosive chemicals on the
console or screen.
Always dampen the cloth and then clean the screen. Be sure
to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the screen, so
that drips do not seep into the console.
Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty
cloths.
Changing the Belt (Newer Model AMT Only)
The AMT uses belts to provide motion. These belts eventually
wear and must be replaced.
When the belt stride count reaches 90 million, the message
BELTS MUST BE CHANGED SOON scrolls on the Welcome
screen. While this message appears, the AMT operates
normally.
Important: If this message displays on your AMT, please contact
Precor Customer Support for assistance.
When the belt stride count reaches 100 million (and the belt
has not been changed), the message BELTS CHANGE REQUIRED scrolls continuously on the Welcome screen. The
input keys are not functional and the user cannot enter values
or begin a workout until the belts are changed. Please contact
Precor Customer Support to schedule a belt change.
